Comments by Eric and good arguments from Mark

Few comments by Eric Newcomer in the Web Services Architecture (ex-)working group mailing list regarding the REST vs Web Services discussion that is going on over there.

Also, Mark Baker replies to my previous post with some interesting arguments. I need to think about them. I agree with Eric that there is room for both architectural styles but I am interested in understanding the differences and the advantages/disadvantages in particular scenarios.
